Course overview

Donna Zander & Associates is an Accredited Social Worker by AASWThis workshop aims to explore the challenges and triumphs of private practice for those who are contemplating the roller coaster ride and those who are on it. It will explore everything from: business planning and development; Medicare, ATAPS, VOCAT and other business revenue opportunities; financial management and recommended fees schedules; legal issues; marketing; to isolation and networking. The ride is one of being a Jack and or most likely a Jill of many skills and areas of expertise that our training did not prepare us for. Beyond the lure of money, private practitioners agree on the non-tangible rewards of working with people, unencumbered by the bureaucracy of an agency setting. "It's very challenging in terms of getting a reputation and building on that. But it's incredibly rewarding. And there will always be people who are looking for good therapy and service" So come along for this workshop ride and let's see where we all end up as the professions compete for a seat!
